Crooked House


A well known watering hole on the edge of the Himley Estates is the Crooked House which is excellent for drivers who want the experience of being drunk without being over the legal limit. You can literally watch beer bottles roll up the table here.

The reason for its strange uneven exterior and interior is down to the fact that the house has subsided on land that was used for mining. Too much coal had been extracted from the ground beneath the building and it had to be shored up to prevent its collapse.
